In exchange for the commercial vehicle cut-and-sew assets and operations
acquired from SBI, CVG paid approximately $3.6 million in cash and has assumed
approximately $1.9 million of net liabilities due to third parties and $1.3
million of net liabilities due to CVG.

Included in the transaction are two leased facilities in Tellico Plains
and Pikeville, Tennessee, which CVG management will assume responsibility for,
effective immediately. The two leased facilities employ approximately 200
associates and are located near CVG's seating operation in Vonore, Tennessee.
CVG also has a ninety-day option to assume the shares, assets or operations of
SBI's leased facility in Capilla de Guadalupe, Jalisco, Mexico, at no
additional purchase price consideration. There are approximately 14
associates employed at the Mexico facility.

Lisa Held Janke, owner and Chief Executive Officer of SBI, will retain
Short Bark's military division and continue to focus on the military apparel
business.

Jerry Armstrong, President of Commercial Vehicle Group's Global Truck
Division, stated, "This acquisition is a great fit with CVG's operations as it
provides us with a platform for a cut-and-sew center of excellence and an
uninterrupted supply of seat covers and trim materials. SBI, which originated
in the highly-competitive textile environment, is skilled at removing waste in
the cutting operation and gaining productivity in the sewing process."

CVG estimates the transaction to be neutral to the Company's diluted EPS
for the remainder of 2007 and accretive by approximately $0.02 per diluted
share for the full year 2008.

"In addition to the strategic and logistical advantages, this transaction
provides us with a margin enhancement opportunity," said Chad M. Utrup, Chief
Financial Officer of Commercial Vehicle Group. "Because nearly all of the
cut-and-sew products from the acquisition will be supplied directly to our
existing operations, our top line revenue is not expected to increase;
however, we will realize bottom line margin improvement from the profitability
and productivity of the operations," added Utrup.

For the period of December 5, 2007 to December 31, 2007, the Company does
not expect any change to its previous estimates as a result of the
transaction. For the full year 2008, the Company does not anticipate an
increase in revenues and expects operating income in the range of $1.3 million
and depreciation in the range of $0.2 million as a result of this transaction.
